CP Violation in Predictive Neutrino Mass Structures

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study the CP violation effects from two types of neutrino mass matrices with (i) (Mν)ee=0(M_ν)_{ee}=0, and (ii) (Mν)ee=(Mν)eμ=0(M_ν)_{ee}=(M_ν)_{eμ}=0, which can be realized by the high dimensional lepton number violating operators ℓˉRcγμLL(DμΦ)Φ2\bar \ell_R^cγ^μL_L (D_μΦ)Φ^2 and ℓˉRclR(DμΦ)2Φ2\bar \ell_R^c l_R (D_μΦ)^2Φ^2, respectively. In (i), the neutrino mass spectrum is in the normal ordering with the lightest neutrino mass within the range 0.002 eV≲m0≲0.007 eV0.002\,{\rm eV}\lesssim m_0\lesssim 0.007\,{\rm eV}. Furthermore, for a given value of m0m_0, there are two solutions for the two Majorana phases α21α_{21} and α31α_{31}, whereas the Dirac phase δδ is arbitrary. For (ii), the parameters of m0m_0, δδ, α21α_{21}, and α31α_{31} can be completely determined. We calculate the CP violating asymmetries in neutrino-antineutrino oscillations for both mass textures of (i) and (ii), which are closely related to the CP violating Majorana phases.
